Epic of Bee

I opened my eyes and looked over to Xani and Messia. They both had worried looks on their faces, but what could you expect after what we had just seen and learned? And we still had to go down to the Clinic now.

I pulled myself out of my chair and waved for the girls to join me, and then I turned for the Honey Gate. It was time to go down and deal with this mess.

"Let's head down to the clinic and see how things are going down there," I said, and Tag and Sig nodded to me.

They must have replaced the girls when I was up top; they would have to go see Leah. That was fine, and at this point, I just need guards to protect me, but there were already a lot of guards watching over Clinic, so things should be fine.

p The Geo-Sect filled with SugaBee's was heading to the goblins, but we had no way to stop it; this was beyond frustrating. As if the Predators that we just dealt with were not enough, let's add some mind-controlling whatever.

I still wasn't really sure what these things were, and that was something that I would have to get out of Carl and the rest of the Raccoon Folk. Whatever they were, it must have been Trent's substitute for the Lichtar before he was able to call his Fallen to this world.

"Messia, dear, can you get us set on course for the snake village, and then let me know what the estimated time of arrival is, okay? I am going to head down with Xani to see how Serria and Miasma are doing," I said, and Messia came to me, and I pulled her into a quick kiss, but then we broke apart.

I took Xani's hand, and the two of us headed to the Honey gate, where Tag and Sig were waiting. The two went through the portal when we were close, and we flowed close on their heels.

On the other side, I was surprised to find that the Clinic seemed to look a lot bigger than it had before, But MIasma noticed me right away. She waved me over to the desk area that she was standing in front of, and I walked over with Xani, looking around in confusion.

I had expected the entire place to be lined with bodies from all the people that we had been sending down here, but that wasn't the case. There must have been some upgrade done, and I was sure that Miasma got this that would be helpful.

"Where is everyone?" I asked after giving Miasma a quick hug and kiss.

"I had to create another four Hex-combs to hold everyone, but it is worth it. Half of the predators might not wake up from the stresses that their bodies were put under. Considering just how long some of them have been forced to stay awake," Miasma explained, and I nodded my head to her with a smile.

"Yes, that is good, but how did you get more chambers so fast? Also, four is a lot, right?" I asked, and Miasma smiled at me brightly.

"I know that things have been pretty intense and crazy, but some good things have already come from this. Pixie and the workers can now make the Hex-Combs almost five times as fast as she could before after doing a scan on some of the leftover nectar from one of the SugaBee workers," Miasma explained.

This was excellent news considering what had just happened, and now I would have to think about what to do with Will and Bob. What they did was wrong, but they had saved fifteen people, so I couldn't be too hard on them, but what was up with the extra room?

There were about four hundred Predators, so I guess that we could need this much room, but something seemed off. I might as well go see the Queen and just go check to see how she is doing.

"Can you take me to Serria and Mordiraine? I want to see how she is doing considering that her Hive had just been taken from her," I said, but then Miasma gave me a knowing smile and waved for me to follow.

I narrowed my eyes, but Miasma had already turned and walked to a room with a closed door and then pressed the red button on the wall. I was perplexed by the knowing smile that she had given me, but when the door slid open, I was astonished to find that there were a lot of my subjects inside of here.

"Oh, uh… hey Queen, so you're probably going to have to just cut my head off…." Will said with a dropped head as soon as he saw me, but I was speechless when I saw what else was in the exceptionally large room.

"You did this BEFORE WE HAD THE QUEEN?!" I yelled at him. "Dammit! HOW MANY DID YOU TAKE WILL?!"

I was beyond exasperated, and I wasn't sure if I should just do as he said and kill him or give him a hug. The room was filled with small crystal pods that had to be eggs from the Queen, and Mordiraine was also sitting up in the bed, smiling.

"Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I know that you weren't able to save everyone, but the fifteen hundred that your men did is beyond what I could ask for. They also saved my unborn children," Mordiraine said with a warm smile.

"Outside, NOW!" I shouted at my subjects and then smiled at the other Queen. "I will be right back after I finish talking about skin off some of my subjects!"

I turned and walked out of the room that I had just entered, ready to start pulling my hair out. One thousand five hundred, not fifteen, and how? All I could do was walk out of the room and wait for everyone to start talking.
